CHAPTER 9
They opened their eyes and searched for any blood, none. At least not theirs.
Sans's blaster was powerful and strong, Frisk couldn't have survived that, but… How? It can't be plain luck, luck doesn't exist when it comes to hard times like these.
They couldn't feel anything, their consciousness wasn't all functioning yet. All they could see was light beyond them, and darkness below them.
Taking a further look, Frisk was stranded. They were tied all four limbs by some sort of vine, or root. Natural elements, at least.
Natural elements? Not a good sign.
"Would you like some… Water?" Frisk heard a small, friendly voice, it appeared to be familiar. Familiar in a bad way. Very bad way.
"No, I'm sorry… let me repeat that. Would you like to… drown in water?" Then they heard laughter from the depths of hell,
"I'm just joking, chum. I would never do such a horrible thing to you, you're my bestest friend, after all, right?"
Frisk shook their head and their consciousness began to return. Now they could see they were tied up in mid-air by a tiny yellow and white flower.
"Come on now, Frisk. Don't put your angry face on, I like it when you smile… smile for me right now, or I'll make you smile. For eternality…"
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I scare you again? My poor, innocent child… but let's just get to the point here, I don't like wasting time on useless words.
Don't you see here? Frisky? I saved your life. From your what-so-called friends. They tried to kill you, didn't they? And I saved you, I saved you. I, SAVED, YOU." The flower began to hiss,
Frisk found this place very familiar, underneath them was a patch of blooming golden flowers. This was where Frisk was when they first arrived to the underground.
Where they first met Flowey and Toriel, where everything started.
But they were back here now. Frisk looked up and could feel the sunshine on their face, they had missed the sun.
"I see, you're remembering things, aren't you?" Flowey said, "But everything has to go, right? I'm at a place where nobody would come, a place where nobody would hear you scream."
"You wouldn't scream, because taking your soul is pain-less. Before you knew it, it'll be over. Everything you've done and everyone you've met will be over."
"…"
"What am I doing this for? Well… everything would make sense eventually…"
Master, I'll bring you back. I'll bring you back from the other side and I shall serve you while you become the king of all kings… Flowey started to mutter to itself,
After all these years, I've finally found out what it takes to work the machine… master. You have missed out one thing, the one key in order to work the machine… A human soul… And then I would...
Then Flowey started to mutter so quietly, Frisk couldn't hear anything but shhhhhs. Who's its master? What? Frisk was missing out on something big.
While Flowey was lost in its own fantasy, Frisk looked around swiftly for any chance of escape. But was horrified once again when they looked down.
Asriel's body… still down there… a monster who had absorbed a human soul couldn't be turned into dust anymore, instead… they'll be rotting.
Frisk then saw something unrelated to Flowey or any of its Satanism, monster kid! He was staring up at Frisk from somewhere unseen, meanwhile terrified by the first dead body he had ever seen.
Frisk couldn't do much other than hoping for the monster kid to tell the others, if they made a sound, Flowey would snap out of its day dream.
They couldn't think of anything else to do other than pretend to cry and scream for help, surely monster kid would understand that.
"HELP!" Frisk screamed out loud for the first time Underground and began to struggle on the vines, meanwhile letting down fake tears to make the situation more realistic.
Then Flowey became angry, Frisk turned, the monster kid was gone already.
"No one could hear you! Foolish child! You're never escaping from this! Because whoever comes here to rescue you… DIES."
Flowey commanded one of its vines to move, it wrapped around Frisk's mouth, all could be heard now was muffed noise.
Entry 167
(Written in Wing Dings, translated Entry.)
I've been working on a project for quite a while now, perhaps another creation no one else could achieve. I've created life, I've created life scientifically, not biologically, even though it involves quite a lot of biology knowledge. Out of all my life creations, I've finally succeeded on making a set of 'brothers'. I'm proud of my creation. I'll write next time to record how the two brothers were doing.
Note: Creation No. S1 & P2
"Papyrus… I think it's over, we've been here for almost day and a half straight, no sign of Frisk…" Sans said, he was rather depressed, it was his responsibility to look after Frisk, he promised it.
"God… What have I done…?" Sans muttered to himself,
Papyrus was next to him, carrying a box of injectable Determination, he wasn't in a good mood either. The human had always been his motivation.
"S…Sans, don't worry about it, I'm sure the human could handle it themselves."
"I know, but it's just… It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let them come with me to get Determination… Now, I don't have the courage to go back to the others… I should probably stay here and continue searching." Sans paused his footstep and looked at his slippers.
"Sans! But it's dangerous in here, you can't stay here alone by yourself! Without the great Papyrus, you'll barely survive!"
"Yeah, true, bro. But you need to return with Determination, everyone's counting on you, not me."
"Sans…"
"Un-Undyne!" A child's voice yelled across the barrier, Undyne was on guard duty. "Undyne! Man! The flower was totally so scary, and… and and and I saw Frisk! Man they were screaming for help and… and!" The monster kid was huffing and puffing like he had just finished the marathon.
Undyne wanted to grab the kid and evacuate him to safety, but when she heard the word Frisk, she immediately changed her mind.
"What? Frisk? Where are they!" Undyne said, she was already waving her spears.
"I, I was just wondering around the ruins cause it's open and stuff, so… and then at the entrance of Mt. Ebott I, I saw this giant thing and, man! Asriel is so dead and stuff! I… I …"
"Alright, I think I know where I'm going. Kid, go to safety! Now! I'll take care of the rest." Undyne said while she started to sprint.
"Someone's calling me, Alphys, who could it be? I can't read phone numbers." Toriel said as she answered the phone.
"Hello? This is Toriel."
"…"
"Frisk? Aren't they with Sans?"
"…"
"O… ok, Undyne, I'll go tell everyone… Be careful." Toriel said, she was extremely tense. She couldn't blame it all on Sans, he was injured and everyone else was busy doing their own job…
She explained what Undyne was screaming across the phone to Alphys, Alphys then freaked out and started running in circles.
Toriel couldn't be stopped at this point, she had to go back to the ruins and save Frisk! It wasn't anyone else's duty but hers, she must be there for Frisk this time.
Alphys phoned Asgore and told Papyrus about the news, he already came back with Determination. Alphys was a bit too occupied at the time to think about telling Sans.
The underground was a huge pile of mess at this moment, monster kid had spread the news and everyone was freaking out about it.
They were crying.
They were hopeless…
"Now now, Frisk…" Flowey said, looking up at the uncomfortable child stranded up high, "Where should we begin…?"
To be continued…
